In self-heating systems, a larger preheating current may result in overdischarge of the battery pack and damage the battery. Since this system can achieve a high heating rate using a relatively small current, it hardly damages the batteries. 3.2. Influence of the preheating system on battery performance 3.2.1.
The system can preheat the battery safely in the capacity range of 20%–100%. When the battery pack is set in −20 °C, the effective electric energy can be increased by 550% after preheating. An energy conversion model is also built to measure the relationship between the energy improvement of battery and the energy consumption by preheating.
Preheating systems can rapidly heat the vehicle's interior and the battery to restore its charge/discharge performance, allowing the vehicles to operate at low temperatures. For EVs, an efficient preheating system must be flexible and convenient that can preheat the battery at anytime and anywhere.
This self-preheating system shows a high heating rate of 17.14 °C/min and excellent temperature uniformity (temperature difference of 3.58 °C). The system can preheat the battery safely in the capacity range of 20%–100%. When the battery pack is set in −20 °C, the effective electric energy can be increased by 550% after preheating.
Power of batteries preheated to different temperatures at 0.5C (a), 1C (b), and 2C (c) respectively. The average temperature of batteries preheated to different temperatures at 0.5C (d), 1C (e), and 2C (f), respectively. However, the effect of preheating improved with an increase in the discharge rate of the battery pack.
What are the benefits of pulse preheating a battery?
Pulse preheating By using pulse preheating techniques, a battery is heated by an indirect current signal supplied to its internal impedance. Pulse preheating can result in less battery capacity reduction than constant DC/AC preheating. The benefits of pulse preheating include homogeneous temperature distribution and less battery degradation.
